Good. As I originally did not read your post carefully enough and mis-diagnosed your problem, I'm glad I corrected my post before submitting it.

Yes, that is something we all need to be reminded of from time to time. Simon has had an 'auto rescan' feature on his to do list for some time, but has made it clear that there are significant technical issues to deal with in implementing the feature. Having seen the hash that some media servers can make of the whole scanning process, I rather hope that Simon makes haste slowly on this one.

Track are shown in the correct numbered order, but the player jumps from (say) 1 to 12--in no apparent logical sequence. Any suggestions for fixing that?

Are the track number tags populated? Are the disc numbers either correct or not populated at all (in the case of single disc albums)? Have you noticed any particular order in which the tracks are played (alphabetical order of title, or of file name, for example)? This could also be a control point rather than a MinimServer issue. And it's always worth checking that you haven't accidentally set shuffle play on the control point ...
